Germiston, South Africa – In a heist described as both daring and meticulously planned, a group of criminals broke into a First National Bank (FNB) branch in Germiston by digging a tunnel beneath the building and making off with an undisclosed sum of money.

According to preliminary investigations, the robbers gained access to the bank premises on Victoria Street by excavating a tunnel leading directly into the banking hall. Once inside, they used grinders to break open several safes. Both the bank's CCTV and alarm systems were reportedly deactivated during the incident, raising suspicions of an inside job.

The robbery was discovered when staff returned to work after the long public holiday and found the premises ransacked and the vaults breached. Law enforcement officials have since launched a full-scale investigation.

“No arrests have been made at this stage. We are pursuing several leads and reviewing forensic evidence from the scene,” said a spokesperson for the South African Police Service.

Adding a bizarre twist to the case, one of the suspects reportedly posted a photograph of himself online holding bundles of cash believed to be his share of the loot. The image has since gone viral and is now part of the police investigation.

I hope say we no go later hear say omo naija dey among the squad o

Swears 😂

That man that showed his face was to divert police attention and waste their time. Simply a decoy

Some people are cursed. You robbed a bank successfully and instead of you to go and give your God thanks quietly you carried your face and snapped with your loot. Now they'll catch him.
This kind of robbery is divine. No killing. No victim.

Those robbers needs prayer, let them link-up with pope Emilokan for further counselling

Definitely there was mole a inside that bank that aided the success of the robbery.

Corruption is too much in Africa.

With a white government in south Africa that robbery won't succeed.

There's a Naija movie similar to this plot by Nancy Isime and Ramsey Noah.

Very crazy something.

No Nija thieves has ever tried this type of heist. I think Nija thieves are lazy bunch of scoundrels . Always attacking cashiers and making away with the money and killing people or burgle at night but to think deeply and do some energy consuming task.....na lie.... 😂 😂.....na joke o abeg, no take me serious.....

Na film-trick?

I hope our boys won't get some funny ideas from this.
